Thanks, I can repro now.

I haven't detangled the macro soup, but I noticed:

1. FIELD_PREP is defined in include/linux/bitfield.h which has the
following comment:
 18  * Mask must be a compilation time constant.

2. hwm_field_scale_and_write only has one callsite.

The following patch works:

Though I'm not sure if you're planning to add further callsites of
hwm_field_scale_and_write with different field_masks?

Alternatively, (without the above diff),

will produce:
error: call to __compiletime_assert_407 declared with 'error'
attribute: FIELD_PREP: mask is not constant

I haven't tested if that change is also feasible (on top of fixing
this specific instance), but I think it might help avoid more of these
subtleties wrt. __builtin_constant_p that depende heavily on compiler,
compiler version, optimization level.
